Window replacement across High Point’s range of housing stock
High Point’s housing stock runs the full spectrum, and so do the window jobs. The historic district and Emerywood are loaded with 1920s–1950s homes — original wood double-hungs with rope-and-pulley sashes, painted shut, drafty, and often sitting in openings that have taken on water over eighty-plus years. The mid-century ranches in Greenway, Skeet Club, and Deep River are reaching the point where the original aluminum or early vinyl windows are failing seals and fogging up. And the 1990s–2000s builder homes off Eastchester Drive and Skeet Club Road are hitting the 20–25 year mark all at once, which means the builder-grade vinyl that came with the house is showing failed seals, drafts, and sashes that won’t hold.
The common thread isn’t the glass. It’s how the window was put in the first time. A premium triple-pane unit installed with foam-and-pray will underperform a mid-grade double-pane window that was flashed and air-sealed correctly.
A good window in a bad install is a bad window
Our window installs aren’t dramatic — they’re slow, because we do them the way the manufacturer’s installation manual actually says to. We pull the existing window completely, then inspect and repair the rough opening. On the older Emerywood and downtown homes, water-damaged sills are the rule rather than the exception, and we replace rot before anything new goes in. Then comes a sill pan to drain any water that gets behind the unit, the window set plumb and square on shims, peel-and-stick flashing lapped over the nail fin at the head and jambs, full-perimeter low-expansion foam, and exterior caulk at the trim-to-siding joints. Every install, not just the model home.
Matching the window to the house
- Wood-clad for the historic and Emerywood homes, where painted interior wood matches the character of a 1920s house. Wood interior, fiberglass or aluminum cladding outside, 40–50+ year lifespan.
- Vinyl for the mainstream replacements — premium frames from Pella, Andersen 100 Series, and Marvin Elevate cover most whole-house jobs in the maturing Skeet Club and Eastchester subdivisions.
- Fiberglass (Marvin Essential, Andersen 400 Series) for owners planning to stay 20+ years and wanting the longest-lasting frame there is.
We also handle the window-related repairs that don’t need a full replacement — failed seals (we often swap just the glass insert), rotted sills and jambs on the older stock, and drafty windows that just need re-flashing and re-foaming. And because we’re a roofing company first, we install Velux skylights and sun tunnels when daylighting comes up.
High Point details we plan around
- Triad climate (Zone 4). We spec U-factor of 0.30 or better, and SHGC of 0.40 or lower on the west and south exposures.
- Phased replacement. Plenty of High Point homeowners do windows in stages — north and west walls first, where weather hits hardest — and we’ll scope it that way.
- Older openings need carpentry. Our in-house W-2 crews include the trim and sill carpentry that historic-district windows almost always require. No subcontracted install teams.
